Loving...

This fantastic acrylic and suede bib necklace by Otto (makes me want to put hubby to work cutting some pieces of acrylic for me...hmm)

This genius wedding -- and I typically don't get all swoony over weddings (especially really bright, whimsical ones... I'm usually go for the woody, boho/glam numbers), but this one is so lovely and clever and...well, happy.

As a side note, ever since I went to lunch with my incredibly stylish friend Lauren, who happened to be sporting an armful of bangles, I've been obsessed with piling them on...it's sort of the arm version of a statement necklace. The key (I think) is to mix good stuff with costume stuff and metal (gold and brass for me) with something soft like maybe a friendship bracelet or the suede number above...

Oh and it's only $6.

(and as another side note, I was recently on land's end's site buying some shoes for the girlies {and yes, that bracelet too}, and I used their online help option. It was completely fantastic...man online shopping has come a long way.)

And in what might possibly be the most random inclusion on a "loving" list ever, this ping pong table, which I'm dreaming of putting on our back patio...I have all sorts of visions of sipping gin and tonics and playing table tennis with Bryan to a steady playlist of Vampire Weekend.

I'm in love with that painting! I always crush on unattainable things ;) The ping pong table would be a blast. My husband has been wanting one for a while and after seeing the bright blue one in Windsor Smith's house http://bit.ly/cejQOt, I'm on board too!

Get the ping pong table! We had one on our back patio, and whenever I play ping pong, I have my parents' soundtrack (The Mamas & the Papas, Peter, Paul, & Mary, the Beach Boys, etc.) in my head. You'll be making such memories for the girlies and their friends.

Not weird at all...I can totally see that scene :) I always love your "loves" and particularly that gorgeous top & the pinkie ring...I have always loved that look. *sigh* I am wishing you well on your month of August plans hun, you are one brave cookie! :) xoMelis
